You seem to post things that make you smile, but aren't really contributing to the discussion.
To add to your discussion i'd have to get my mitts on the Peyote you've procured on the reservation.You obviously didn't grasp the theme of the dicussion.Then procede to add your definition in an attempt to correct something that didn't need correcting and totally missed the mark anyway.You couldn't get out of your own way thanx for the smile

Man, I'm glad I'm not old as dirt.  Not having an egg or pizza until 15-20 years in?  Must have been awful. 

All this talk about food makes me miss getting seafood right off the boat in Jacksonville as a kid. 

You and I are the same age. If I am as old as dirt, then so are you.

Often, lobbyists are simply trying to explain technical details to congressional staff.  They aren't always some nefarious group trying to get some edge (at times they are).

A lot of legislation is pretty technical and the folks who write it won't be "experts" in the area, which is one reason lobbyists have influence.  If they disappeared magically, I suspect a lot of legislation would come out that made no sense at all, stuff like patent legislation, which gets technical in a hurry.


Often they are. Ofen they make pitches to legislators. Sometimes there is no real difference. The American Egg Boards is technically a marketing board but has waged war on things like vegan mayonnaise through efforts that look a lot like lobbying.  In any event, lobbying can look a lot like marketing and marketing can look a lot like lobbying. The goal is the same - sell more eggs.

Marketing and lobbying are different things, using different tactics and techniques, and the various individuals have different sets of skills.

This is the primary definition of lobbying and marketing.  The focus of a lobbyist is a public official.  The focus of the latter is a consumer or customer.

seek to influence (a politician or public official) on an issue.

Marketing refers to activities a company undertakes to promote the buying or selling of a product or service. Marketing includes advertising, selling, and delivering products to consumers or other businesses. Some marketing is done by affiliates on behalf of a company.F

Of course, we can all be our own lexicographers.  The aforementioned "American Egg Board" like employees both marketers and lobbyists.

There is a clear distinction as to their focus, function, and training.

eating oatmeal while typing this - with blackberries

when I was younger I didn't worry much about eating anything healthy

I take 20 mg of simvastatin every day, I'm not sure it really makes me less susceptible to heart issues, but I'm not going to argue with my doc.  He seems to be a reasonable sort and obviously knows more about this than I.

and the heath insurance pays for the pills

And, I don't think we eat eggs for breakfast because of lobbyists.

If someone else does, fine with me.

I found a more recent study about iron and heart disease:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140423170903.htm

It made more sense to me than the anti-cholesterol/fat claims.

The diet recommended for diabetics remains a very good model in my view even if you aren't one.  And it's not some fad either.  It's been around for decades mostly unchanged.

as for the "tradition" of eating eggs early in the day............

some food just seem to taste better to some folks at different times of the day

apparently the masses prefer eggs in the morning more than eggs in the evening

some folks prefer tomato juice in their beer in the morning, some don't.  Some like tomato juice in their beer all day.  Bloody Mary's in the evening?  That's fine for some, most prefer them in the morning.

it's obviously personal preference.  

some folks like something sweet after a meal, others would rather have a cigarette.

It's just that larger groups weigh in with McDonalds and others.  Does the egg lobby own or buy McDonalds to promote egg mcMuffins in the morning?  Why not serve eggs at McDonalds all day?  Becase it's not popular with the masses.

Perkins will server eggs all day and night.  Good for them.  They are filling a need for the smaller group.  Perhaps the egg lobby pays Perkins abd Denny's more than McDonalds?

The McDonalds in Hawaii have SPAM on the menu, seriously.  This is because Hawaiians ate a lot of SPAM during WW Two and it became a local favorite/tradition.  

One of the largest cattle ranches in the US was on the Big Island, the area was adapted for training during the war instead of cattle raising.  Their premise was to get calves and ship them to mainland US or Canada because the cows would become fertile again quickly without seasons as a factor.  They equipped some 747s to ship the calves back in the day.  Interesting place to visit.  Looks kinda like Texas, except for the huge volcanoes and the ocean if the weather is clear.

I used to eat SPAM on occasion, my mom would fry it in a skillet.  I'm not sure I want to know what's in it any more than a hotdog.
